Description

Astragalus Extract by Herb Pharm is a liquid herbal supplement that may work to support your immune system.

Since astragalus—which is also known as huang qi or astragalus membranaceus—might have a mild antiviral effect‚ this supplement may help address certain symptoms associated with the common cold and other upper respiratory infections. Astragalus extract may also work to stimulate your body’s production of interferons‚ which are proteins that play a key role in activating white blood cells that could potentially some viruses and bacteria.

Moreover‚ astragalus extract contains antioxidants. As a result‚ this product may work to protect your cells from free radical damage.

Finally‚ proponents of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believe that astragalus root may serve as an adaptogen; this means that it might aid you in coping with physical and mental stress.

This four-ounce bottle of Herb Pharm’s Astragalus Extract is the perfect size to buy if you want to stock up!

Astragalus by Herb Pharm is a great brand, and astragalus is purported to be an effective immune booster suitable for long term use (unlike echinacea), but I've read (on ITM Online) that some component of astragalus cannot be distilled with alcohol. This is why I'm brewing it as a tea from now on instead of purchasing from Herb Pharm again.

Pros

Great brand. Organic.

Cons

Alcohol extraction not suitable for this herb.
